At CBC, while explaining the “make whole” proposal, Elliotte Friedman writes that the players spoke out on their conference call on Thursday and told Don and Steve Fehr that they want them to get back to negotiating.

Steve Fehr and Bill Daly met yesterday but John Shannon said that they plan to meet again.

9:15AM Lebrun says that the two sides will meet again early this week.

Pierre LeBrun said that Daly and Fehr met till 1AM.

Kevin Allen tweeted this morning, “Don’t know if any progress is being made, but the longer owners and players can go without sniping at each other the more hope you can have.”

Like this:

I hope that Wilkshake and Sheldon get 2 sacks each tonight... I could see Mo having a big game. Amaro should have another nice game in terms of catches, but I don't excpect much YAC. We can only hope that this team shows something tonight...

@kniff Kerley was asked why he hasn't been producing more and responded that he's only been getting 2-3 targets a game. He had actually been targeted seven times, according to the NFL, but it was actually only three per PFF.

So I went back and two were tipped at the line, one was thrown away and another was thrown at his feet while he wasn't even looking back for the ball. Maybe we've been unfair to be so disappointed in his output.

@a57se dude I've been commenting on here for weeks but no one was responding to my comments, not sure what the heck was happening but no one was able to read them....I actually started commenting under my wife's name "Vivian Silva"...very wierd

@a57se@Bent@kniff Answered that in BGA Extra. I said that the Jets are using him to run underneath routes and those are what the teams are trying to take away. No by covering him specifically but by taking shallow drops and being all over the short intermediates.

I don't think the problem with the schedule has anything to do with no divisional games til week seven. Instead it's the fact that all the toughest games seem to be bunched at the start with the two toughest of all five days apart.

Meaning that what Kerley (and what Geno, by extension) needs to get untracked is for Marty to have some deep-ball threats so that he can call some deep shots and for Geno to throw some deep balls and for Brian Winters to get hurt so that whomever replaces him can stop being a turnstile preventing Geno from having the pocket he needs to throw those deep balls, so that defenses will stop pulling a "2012 Mark Sanchez" and just abandoning everything deep and pinching off everything underneath.

Long story short: Oday Aboushi and TJ Graham have to step up to save this offense.

@tsjc68@Bent@a57se@kniff Are you saying that "Ground and Pound" in conjunction with "West Coast" is only two dimensional, and too easy to defend, and that we need a third dimension implemented (and quick) to be competitive?

I was promised downfield passing in a Marty offense, and it's disappeared. Now, granted, it might have disappeared because we have no deep threat WRs and we have one titanic hole in the OL that makes maintaining a clean pocket for more than two full seconds impossible, but still.

That's one album I never would've bet I'd hear hundreds of times. And the songs are so infectious. I find myself singing "the window is open, so's that door.
I didn't know they did that anymore. Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?" while dead lifting.
